Meander aimlessly
Can you tell me what this phrase means?
I just came across this in a TV conversation and of course I looked it up in a dictionary but that did not give me correct answer for the situation. As to dictionary, it means "to follow a winding course".

It means just what the words say. It is redundant, by the way, because to meander is to wander aimlessly. Can you tell us what TV show and episode?

Meander means to follow a winding course.
Aimless means without plan or purpose.
Put them together and you have "follow a winding course without plan or purpose", or "walk about going this way and that as your whim dictates."
